I wanted to hear your opinion about building permits.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why if a home is privately owned and does not deal in a significant way with the public sphere does the government require a permit to allow the owner to modify their private property? Some cities go as far as requiring permits to shift appliances around and replacing things like toilets and vanity cabinets.
My opinion is that its stupid and a simple courtesy inspection(s) by the city accomplishes the same purpose. My main beef is that they charge for something that is a right of the owner, not about the cities building code.
